+ I thought I would get to write about the things I felt passionately about. Overnight, I left my business and from the very next day, joined OpIndia as its editor. We were a team of 3. We grew exponentially, but this job has changed me and what I thought about the world
+ When I started off, I thought reconciliation was possible. When I started, it was hope that drove me. Today, it’s unbridled, blind rage. It was a short, tumultuous journey from “I’m sure they will condemn at least this” to “I will only stand for my own, they don’t matter”
+ Over the years, we have closely followed the sheer brutality with which the Left+Islamist nexus hunts down those they don’t agree with - their hate gift wrapped in punch words like “secularism”, “harmony”, “morality”, “truth”, “brotherhood”, “idea of India”, and so much more
+ We have documented them giving a political context to the brutal hacking of Hindu activists. We have watched them ensure that Hindus lose their jobs merely for speaking about the Islamic invasions. We have watched them celebrate the death of Hindus and dance on their dead skull
+ We have watched them dismiss how Islamists abduct, rape, convert young Hindu girls. Pretend to be Hindus and then convert them to Islam after they’re in too deep. We watched them stay quiet after Kausambi. After Sonbhadra. After Hindu girls were brutally dishonoured and hacked
+ They turned a well planned killing spree against Hindus into an “anti Muslim pogrom”. Those of us who documented the truth were hounded, abused, smeared, character assassinated, black listed by publishers. They cropped images of images where weapons could be seen atop mosques
They weaponised the innocence of Hindus. A Hindu chants Jai Shree Ram because of centuries of unshakable faith. A Hindu puts the sticker of Hanuman on his car because he believes He is the protector. They took that innocent faith and turned it into a marker of “terrorism”
Hindutva was meant to arm Hinduism to adapt to a world order based on nation states. A concept which for Muslims meant Ummah and for Hindus meant this civilisational state. Hindus gave up their Monarchs to get “secularism” and they needed Hindutva to find their political identity
Hindutva is meant as a shield against those who weaponise the innocence of Hindus and because they needed to weaponise the innocence of Hindus, Hindutva had to be tarnished by the Ummah and the Global Left Conglomerate. We watched it happen. We documented it.
They have unleashed a Nazi-esque propaganda, globally, where the persecution or beheading of any of us would not draw condemnation, but cheers and celebration. When we are murdered, when we are lynched, when we are beheaded, we will be blamed for it - even by our own Judges.
They have lied for years. Fake Jai Shree Ram crimes. Fake threats. Fake Musalman Khatre Main hai. Fake church crimes. Fake “Hindus raped a nun” (turned out to be Bangladeshis). Fake history. Fake alternate realities. They have lied, cheated, misled, to demonise us. All of us
They guilt tripped us enough so millions of Hindus shut up, sit down, and don’t celebrate the Ram Janmabhoomi verdict - a battle Hindus won after 500 years of sacrifice. “You will provoke them”, they said. And we. shut. up. Weaponised the innocent of Hindus, as I said.
When Arnab was dragged, his son assaulted, they cheered. When his life was splashed on TV screens, they sneered. When death threats were given to Nupur Sharma, they blamed her. When I was forced to flee Bengal, they mocked. When we die, they will dance and piss on our dead body
Do they really think anyone wants to live with this rage? Rage that comes with knowing what they’re doing? What they have done? The rage that comes with watching videos of Hindus being beheaded? The rage that comes with all of them justifying our civilisational demise? Our end?
Do they really think I enjoy reading the sick, vile, abuses that accrue to me? The death and rape threats? Do they think I like my pictures being morphed and splashed? I haven’t been a public person for long. I’ve had to learn to deal. Learn to stand tall. Learn to fight
Don’t they think we would like to dewy eyed? To stand for lofty ideals uniformly? Where do they think my rage comes from? I wasn’t born with it. It comes from THEIR conduct. Between fairness and survival, I will choose the survival of MY PEOPLE, a people they want wiped out.
When you hold us by the hair and try to drown us repeatedly, you cannot expect us, any of us, me, to stand with a rope to rescue you when you drown in the same pond. You just can’t. That’s not human nature. Retribution the purest emotion.
Deracinated Hindus want me to stand up when Rana Ayyub gets body shamed. Y? Because she wants me dead? Hindus wiped out? Who stood for us when we were getting raped, murdered, threatened? Did they? You want me to spend the rest of my life asking “why are liberals silent?”
Deracinated Hindus want me to condemn Zubair’s arrest. Why? Because he didn’t take away jobs from Hindus in UAE? He didn’t inspire death, rape threats against Nupur? He stood up for Arnab? Me? Other journalists hounded by friendly govts?
This higher burden of morality on Hindus will be the death of us. “We are better than them”. We are. But we will be deader and more jailed than them if we hold on to this moral high ground and sacrifice survival of Hindus because we have this undying need to be morally superior
We are morally superior because we didn’t start the fire. We didn’t start this cycle of hate and viciousness. We didn’t behead. We didn’t kill. We sacrificed our own so peace could be maintained. Enough. Thus far and no further. You started it. We’ll finish it. At least we’ll try
End of rant. Sorry. Just got fed up of this moral screeching coming from the intellectual elite 🙏
